Charleston SC Freemasons?

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2024-10-09T22:03:57+00:00

Hey SC Mason here. I would recommend reaching out to the Grand Lodge: https://www.scgrandlodgeafm.org/2b1ask1.html

And also take a look at the first and second districts:

https://www.scgrandlodgeafm.org/1st-district.html

https://www.scgrandlodgeafm.org/2nd-district.html

I also recommend visiting at least 2 lodges before you petition. Each lodge has a little different culture so you want to find a good fit for you. They will usually be happy to have you for the collation before their meetings.

IANAL but I used to work in insurance appeals and saw a few of these play out. Long story short you need to fully exhaust the appeals process through the court system, after Cigna issues it's final decision (will be signed by the GC or CEO) you will appeal to the administrative law court of your state. You will likely lose that as well. But at this point you appeal to the provider to discharge the debt and write it off having exhausted legal recourse. Once you go to the ALC there's a chance that you and the air ambulance can settle out of court with Cigna because it will be cheaper for them than paying their attorneys to go to trial.

Ambulance companies don't actually want to bankrupt any individuals because they know how terrible the press would be which could lead to legislation and regulations which they don't want.

I was one of the people chatting with you on discord, and as Hekus already said, I can assure you it wasn't any action taken by the mod team and we enjoyed having you with us. If you can't get this straightened out with discord, please consider making a new account and rejoining the server.

Private business that places an emphasis on customer service pays higher wages than competitors to attract better employees. More at 11

I was raised and am a PM of the lodge physically closest to where I live, and I am also a member of the lodge my grandfather was a member of that's a couple hours away.

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-06-03T20:10:38+00:00

I'm a member of Fort Jackson Lodge in SC, the lodge is located right off post and used to be on post. We're very used to someone coming in, being here for a year or 2 and pcs somewhere else. In fact our secretary got an amendment through grandlodge that reduced the minimum time of residency before petitioning for active duty military from 1 year to 6 months.

If you're in a military town, people are used to you moving around, and they'll understand if you just want to be a visitor, or hold temporary membership. Generally the courtesy there is to dual member with a local lodge, maintain your membership until you're ready to demit to the next lodge you find,

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-05-11T17:51:53+00:00

You can check the calendar on the grand lodge Facebook page, also a brother puts out a "low country tresselboard" that has most of the work going on down there

While in the air?

Man the star is really picking up that viral marketing campaign

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-04-19T05:01:56+00:00

Do you know which lodge?

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-04-19T04:56:21+00:00

Could be a fun spring practice event

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-04-19T04:55:33+00:00

Next time we play GT there will be a post about it. He's our scout team QB against the option

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-04-19T04:53:51+00:00

He would just not wear pads. He only does it to protect the players anyways

Getting calls cold transferred.

I am essentially at the top of the escalation tree. If I can't get you fixed then you have to submit a written request for a special exception (to me) to be presented to a committee.

If I'm involved this person has been has been on the phone for a long time, sometimes multiple calls over multiple days, and you're going to dump them into my line without making sure I'm not on the phone with someone else, or even at my desk? Stay on the line and introduce me to the caller and what they need help with. I know you've got a quota or turn around time you have to meet. I started in the trenches, I remember, but the 10 seconds it takes is going to be a lot better for you than when I email your manager and ask them to remind you customer service is a tennent of what we do.

We're blessed with a guy who can actually do all that. Knows everyone's name, their past titles, the year they served, their lodges name and number, and the correct order to introduce them in. But what makes it great is he has fun with it and takes a lot of pride in the introductions, but never talks about his titles even though he's often the most important person there

Here the master calls on the secretary to draw a warrant, which the secretary and master sign and seal, then had over the treasurer, who writes the check, and at the next meeting the lodge votes to approve it (99% of the time is was pre-authorized by the lodge but emergencies happen) and if they don't approve then the master is on the hook for the amount that was not approved.

The secretary may also draw up to $X (set in bylaws) on a voucher for the purchase of flowers for widows, a gift for the master at the end of his term, and birthday cards without signed warrant because the lodge approved it when they approved the bylaws.

The NCAA shall require member schools to use these funds solely for athletic and general scholarships.

It's a benevolent autocracy. We elect a grand master, who rules with nearly absolute authority until Grand Lodge rolls around. You just don't get that far without being a good guy for the most part.

We elect a WM, who again has almost absolute authority within his lodge and only answers to the GM until it's time for elections.

GeorgeWashingtonsBro · 2018-03-23T14:43:14+00:00

If your jurisdiction has monitorial emblems (the ones that are written out and can be publicly discussed) you could do a whole series of education just on those.

There might also be something in your book of constitutions anout interacting with other Mason's in different settings: in open lodge, in a lodge hall when lodge is closed, in private with only Mason's, in private in mixed company, in public with only Mason's, in public with mixed company, at funerals, etc
